THE ANCIENT SHEPHERD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Uttlesford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE ANCIENT SHEPHERD sales from September 1995 and September 2001 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the September 1995 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the September 2001 sale, where it rises to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.

What might THE ANCIENT SHEPHERD be worth now?

THE ANCIENT SHEPHERD might now be worth an estimated £1,143,574.

This is based on house price inflation of 169.1%, between September 2001 and July 2026, for detached houses, in the Uttlesford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 169.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE ANCIENT SHEPHERD of £425,000 on 18th September 2001. For the value to have increased from £425,000 to £1,143,574 over the 25 years and two months to July 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE ANCIENT SHEPHERD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The September 2001 sale price of £425,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE ANCIENT SHEPHERD has not materially changed since September 2001.
